7 Days of Rest..
After finishing out this week on Saturday, I’ll have done 11 weeks of training Serge Nubret-style. I enjoy the focus on the pump and contraction and want to continue training like this. However, the intensity is very high and I’ve been dragging my feet lately, so I know that’s my body telling me it’s time to take a rest. One week off should do. (I’ll need the time out of the gym anyway, since my non-workout schedule’s only getting more brutal as the school semester ends.)
When I start training again, I may change up the routine a bit; right now I’m thinking a Serge-style split Monday through Wednesday, then rest, then a full-body strength day on Friday, then two days of rest. This will give me the best of both worlds: the awesome cardio benefits and detailed muscle pumping of Serge’s routine combined with the CNS/full-body strengthening and growth-inducing rest days of strength training.
